Bernard's arm is still sore from charging the door of No.1. Sandra smuggles in the news to Albert that Cyril is being called in. She tells him she likes a man of independence and a fighter. He takes that as a cue to start telling her about the First World War. She's genuinely interested, pleasing Albert. She goes to get him his supplies and promises to find out what the "enemies' tactics" are. Ena tells Len what Bill said and leaves it to him to tell Elsie. Annie thinks Douglas Cresswell sent her the Valentine and rings him but he denies it. She can't think who did send it but notes they have elegant handwriting. Sandra overhears Ena telling Ken to try and get Albert out. Tommy Deakin tells Ken he sent the Valentine, hoping for a free drink. Elsie calls into No.9 to get help with a plumbing problem at the salon and is stunned to see Bill there. She agrees to meet him later. Annie gets annoyed as Tommy stares at her across the bar.
